Is Tr A o BILL.

The Reno Journal says q bill has
passed the Legislature which is char
acterized by those who profess to know
something of its provisions to be > very
bad bin, and one deserving the veto Of
the Governor. It is a bill to aid the Ne
vada and Southwestern Railroad Com
pany, and provides that if that corpora
Sion shall build q railroad through Lin.
coin, White Pine. Nye and Esmeralds
counties within the next FIVE years, it
shall be entitled t. $1,000 = mile in
bonds il the road be narrow-guage and
5000 per mile If it be a broad guage.
The bonds are to bear 5 per cent interest,
and to run for 25 years. and the taxes
collected from said road are only to be
applied in payment Of said interest and
principal. In other words the road is to
be exempt from taxation for an indefinite
period. l. is certain that there will be
one or more railroads soon built through
Nevada to secure California trade by
some OF the great railroads Of the East,
and it looks absurd for Nevada to offer
such a gratuisy a. is proposed by the bill
just passed. To exempt for five years
would seem to be all the encouragement
necessary. bat to exempt from county
taxation forever should not receive the
sanction OF the Governor, and Governor
Stevenson owes it to the people to be
sure that he is right before approving
such a bill.

NO PENSIONS

Mr.. Taul5ee. Of Kentucky, from the
Committee on Invalid Pensions. reported
adversely Senate bills granting pensions
to the widows OF General Logan and
General Blair-private calendar. In
its adverse report the committee say that
should Congress pass the bill and by
future legislation maintain that fairness
and consistency which should character.
ize all legislation, the widows Of 259
Major Generals and Rear Admirals
would be given a pension Of S2.0 600 q
year each. The committee, in the alb
sence Of data, believes that it is a fair
estimate to presume that fully two.
thirds Of this number of officers have
left or may leave widows at their death.
If the precedent set by the bill were
carried out this would increase our pen
sion roll s345. 900 annually. in a ma.
jority of the cases. as in this case, no
relief from actual embarrassment or
poverty would be afforded.

III NEXT SENATE.

The Senatorial elections are now all
settled, except New Jersey and West
Virginia, both of whom will, beyond
doubt, elect Democrats. The outcome,
observes the New York World, is that
the Democrats gain four seats in the
rext Senate-one in California, one in
Indiana, one in New Jersey and one in
virginia-and the Republicans gain one
in Nevada.
There are AZ Republicans and "a DEM
ocrats in the present Senate. The
changes. transferring three seats to the
Democratic side from the Republican,
will make the figures stand 80 Republic.
ans and 81 Democrats. But it is be-
lieved that Senator Riddlebsrger, OF Vir-
GINA, will act with the Democrats as
soon as Governor Daniel becomes his as
sociate, and this will even up the num-
bers to IS Republicans and IS Democrats.
The Republicans will probably mos:
regret the loss Of Benjamin Harrison. oil
Indiana, who has been a favorite candi-
date for the Presidential nomination,
and Of William J. Sewell, of New Jer-
ssy, who has been an able and faithful
representative Of railroad corporations.
The prospect OF a tie in the Senate
makes more apparent the unwise action
Of the Democrats Of the Nebraska Legs
lature in neglecting to use their other
wise proitless votes in re-electing Sena-
tor Van Wyck over the opposition and
the money Of the corporations. OF all
questions involving the proper restric-
tion Of the power of corporations Mr..
Van Wyck would have been in accord
with the Democratic Senators.
1t is fortunate tina. the elections viii
all be found regular and that there viii
be no pretense for any contests.

A sENsIBLE GIRL.

Miss Mitchell. daughter of the Oregon
Senator, is heralded by newspaper cor,
respondents as "the belle of Washington
City beautiful, kind.hearted and nc.
complished. She has given the writers
a new theme by declining to accept bon
quets. Having engaged to dance the
german with rich young VIM. Eustance,
grandson Of w. w. Corcoran, she re.
sponded to his note of inquiry as to her
choice Of flowers. that she could not
accept any,. and her explanation was that
"whiIe $40 or even $50 for a bouquet
was nothing to him, yet it was wrong to
receive such a favor and thereby make a
less wealthy young man feel tempted to
the same extravaganza" The daughter
Of the British Minister has joined her in
this line of conduct, and the other girls
Of Washington society, according to the
veracious correspondents, threaten to
boycott them. 1t is a serious case.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 12.-On the 10th OF
November, 1885, John B. Bowman,
ex-AIayor OF East st. Louis, and one
of the wealthiest and most prominent
residents of the city, was assassinated
in front OF his home. Some two weeks
ago Christian Smint and William
Banks, two young hoodlums, were ar
rested for robbing a railroad company.
Yesterday they made a statement
that George w. Voice, a member OF
the East st. Louis police force was the
murderer, and that they saw him
shoot Bowman. To-day Voice was in
duced TO come TO st. Louis, and was
taken to detective Furlong's office,
where he was charged with the deed.
He underwent a sever examination,
which resulted in Frank Bowman, son
OF the murdered man, swearing out a
warrant against him, and he was
lodged in jail.

WHAT OUGHT TO BE.

The leading question which
should occupy Congress this Win
ter is the existing commercial rela-
tions of the United States with the
Republics of South America. These
Governments are trying hard 10 fol-
low us. They are all Republics ex-
cept Brazil, and their natural affini-
ties are with us, but the dlstribu-
ton of commerce is now out of its
natural channel. Peru, for in
stance, is clearly allied to us, yet
her trade with England last year
amouted to over $S,000,000, while
with us less than one million. The
Argentine Republic, almost an ex-
act copy Of the United States, has
an annual trade with Germany OF
nearly $50, 900, 900, while with us
only $4,000, 900. This is thing
that Congress must look into, and
has been neglected too long. 1t is
not a question of tariff or custom
regulations, but purely one of bust
ness tact and enterprise. England
and Germany have literally ar
ranged mail and steamship com
uun;catlons with these countries
while we have almost none. LIE
Congress appropriate a reasonable
amount to open communication, 81
business can be done, and it will
soon fall into our lap.

WHAT MATTERS 1T?

The Reno Gazette says: Powning
says he has no political bee what
ever in his bonnet, but this is taken
with several grains of allowance.
This paragraph is taken from an
article in the Reno Gazette, in
which the probable candidates are
discussed.
We can see no reason for intro
ducing Mr.. Powning's name in such
a connection in any article on State
politics. Mr.. Powning issimply
J political cadaver. The Republicans
will have nothing more to do with
him. He has led them twice to de-
feat and fought against them once.
When he acted as leading man in
the Republican ranks they met
with disaster. When he fought on
the other side they won, After
this experience it Is easy to see that
it pays the party to have Powning
on the other side.
Powning could hardly think of
running for Congress as Demo
crat. He is new convert to the
party and as he has been beaten
some 1900 votes by Cassidy, it
looks as if Cassidy would be con-
sidered the stronger man by his
party.
If Mr.. Powning could secure a
Mugwump nomination, he would, OF
course, run, but we doubt if there
are enough Mugwumps in the State
to pull over 200 votes for him.
Still these 200 votes would tickle
his vanity sufficiently to induce him
to make the campaign. Mr.. Pown-
ing as political proposition is nal.
He can only be reached now
through the aid Of materializing
or slate writing medium. His post
office address is the sepulchre.

ROUT THE BOOM.

Several OF the State papers are
anxious to have an Immigration Bur-
eau established and set the Nevada
boom rolling in grand style. Sup
pose that this is accomplished and
and there is rush of outsiders to
Nevada to buy land and property;
what will they do? Where is the
land that is fit for agricultural pur-
poses? Is it not nearly all taken
up now? Had not outsiders bet
ter know this now than after they
get here and find nothing? We
suggest that the boom be left to
work itself into prominence and
that every paper in the State do all
in its power to promote better ia
cilities for irrigation. Let us have
more talk about the artesian wells,
storing of the waters that go to
waste every Fall and Spring and
the tapping OF Lake Tahoe. Punch
our Senators and Congressman up
and see if they cannot do something
to help usxin this line. Too much
cannot be said about this matter,
for until there is water enough to
irrigate the land in Nevada there
will be no boom of any consequence.

AN INTELLECTUAL TREAT,
Blshop Keanc, of Richmond, Delivers n
ELOQUENT Lecture on Leo XIII,

BIshop Keuuc, of Richmond, Delivers nu
Eloquent Lecture on Leo XIII.
The Cathedral WAS packed last night as
a Ut greeting to Right Rev. Bishop Keane,
Of Richmond. Very much was expected
OF this eminent man, but no lar exceeded
expectation. The theme, Leo NH, gave
ample scope for review Of the relations
Of the Church Of Rome to the civilized
world, aud Bishop keane did his subject
full Justice.
The discourse was in tho highest
sense American, and no one could
have listened to it without taking o higher
and better view Of his citizenship aud
being by that much better citizen. The
speaker dwelt on the triumph OF the
democratic principle in this country, and
said this was pleasing to Leo XIII, who
looks upon thin country with tender re-
gard for America and Americans. He
said that His Holiness is in harmony with
the recent expression Of Cardinal New
man, who declares that hitherto the
church has had to deal with dynasties;
now it is to deal with the people. This,
the speaker thought, is better for the
church aud for society. He concluded
with IN eloquent tribute to the Pope 50 a
man, the eketch being drawn from his
own intimate association with the emf
mont subject.
The discourse YVES on high plane OF
thought, the production of Echolar and
a man OF broad sympathies. It's treat
ment was eloquent and graceful and al
ways forceiul. Bishop keano is an orator
Of high order, whose gifts and the mastery
way in which they are employed would
bD seen to still better advantage on the
rostrum, where there is more freedom Of
action than in the narrow confines of q
pulpit. The lecture was something OF q
strain on tho audience, many Of whom
must have felt like spplauding tho eplen.
did patriotic utterances OF the speaker,
Butthe place forbade, though an outburst
would have been pardonGble under the
strong provocation.
The excellent singing of Mrs. Whitaker
and Mrs. Caldwell, tho Misses Donohue,
Maser and Healy and Mr.. Diegmuller,
and the organ recital Of Prof. Keller added
much to the pleasure Of a notable occasion.
Many Of the clergy Of the diocese we're

Jordan and Mr.. J. D. ETing. II sa!la.
factory agreement eau DO reached with
tho committee. the ordinance will DO sub.
mltted to the Board Of Commissioners at
meeting called to take place at 2 +. NJ.
to-day. l''l
An 1NTELLroENCER reporter had q talk
with the visitors last evening, but learned
OF no new feature OF the bridge project.
The gentlemen met several prominent
gentlemen here yesterday, and tho most
they could DO induced to say last evening
was that they did not know Of any reason
to be discouraged yet. They spent last
eyenlngin consultation with their counsel,
Hon. w. P. Hubbard. 1t III understood
that the meeting Of the committee this
forenoon will be held with closed doors.
Since the unfortunate hitch occurred in
the negotiations with the committee, the
bridge project has been never.ialling
subject Of discussion md speculation, and
a single objection to the project
in general has not been heard. The
expression Is almost universal that tho
delay should not be protracted for greater
period than Is absolutely necessary. Hun.
dreds Of prominent business men and
manufacturers have been heard to express
their regret than any delay occurred,
though Of course all approve wise precau.
ton In tho public interest.
